Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue for respondents. With their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission itself.

Learned counsel for the petitioners mainly submits that in the year 2006 the petitioners have purchased land and got registered the same on 11.09.2006. Thereafter, the petitioners made an application on 30.11.2006 before the MRO for mutation of their names in revenue records. Pursuant thereto, the MRO is stated to have issued a notice calling for objections. It is stated that the petitioners have submitted all the required documents for mutation. It is said that in spite of giving number of representations, no orders are passed by the 4th respondent till date. It is further stated that the 2nd respondent also directed the 4th respondent to take necessary action on the application filed by the petitioners in accordance with law. The inaction on the part of the 4th respondent led to filing of the present writ petition. Learned AGP would submit that if the application of the petitioners is still pending consideration, the same may be directed to be disposed of at the earliest.

Having regard to the rival submissions made and without going into merits of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent-Tahasildar to consider the application dated 30.11.2006 made by the petitioners seeking mutation of their names in the revenue records, if the same is still pending consideration, and dispose of the same in accordance with law as

early as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Miscellaneous petitions pending in this writ petition, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ C. PRAVEEN KUMAR, J Date: 02.11.2016 sur
